divorced and needing a change
I've been using the mobile app for about a week now but have had very little luck. I have over 100lbs to lose and it is easy to get discouraged at times. Unfortunately I am currently living with my sister since I am going through a rather nasty divorce. It seems like I would have a good support system as a result of that…

Back At It... Again!
I spent a lifetime being the chubby girl. I told myself "its not what I eat, I don't eat that much..." Suddenly I found myself turning 30. I had asthma and I couldn't keep up with my young daughters and husband when we went for walks. Then about 2 years ago, I went on a rather popular diet plan. And lost 60 pounds in 4…

Hi all, I'm Lauren and I'm going to give this site a shot. In the past I've had great luck with weight watchers but had to stop, and have put some lost weight back on. I never hit my target weight of 150 w/ ww, but came close @160. My first weigh in last week had me up 28lbs. Ultimately I'd like to hit that 150 goal weight…
